Yeah, that's right, I need to buy a new prosthetic foot, so some old stuff has to go... search user name "surfite*" (without the quotation marks, but WITH the asterisk.

Plus, got a 26.5" Challenge...

I use McLogan's in Los Angeles for decal paper, they don't deal with hobbyists, it's commercial printinng stuff. They've been in business since the 40s or 50s, so they kinda know their shit. The Bel...

Haven't the faintest. I don't believe I've ever heard of "coated". It may be an extra water-based adhesive for the decal. Or it may be for the inkjet crowd which sounds more likely. Are they 25" x...

You have to print the clear. Top and bottom.All colors inbetween. That's it. Simple. On ANY paper. It just has to be decal paper.

I'm the guy in Seattle...I believe NazDar only makes the flexible decal lacquer in clear, white and black now. They've discontinued all other colors. There is a company around that makes a lacquer...

Just a quick note...you want tape with a rubber-based adhesive, not an acrylic-based adhesive. I use Uline brown tape, I can't recall the number at 1:30 AM. But they have 'em listed by adhesive in...

Glass is all gone. Busted in dumpster. You'll cry later.

The magic of Gigposters works in mysterious ways. Friday, when I got to work, I found leaning up against my loading door one vacuum table, one screen a couple of squeegees and best of all, the spring...

...aka Jon Smith. He no longer works at D & L Screenprinting, hasn't posted here since April, and he's still got my vacuum table, screens and squeegees he borrowed for a demo back in October of last...

Last chance... this weekend glass meets dumpster and 3 pound sledge. Hate to do it, but it's gotta go.

Did I mention this stuff is free?

I've got two sheets of 3/16" by 29" by 47 1/4" glass sitting here in my shop, just waiting for me to trip and break. Somebody in the Seattle area come save 'em from a horrible fate. They'd be perfect...

Andymac,

Just get Vegetable Lasagna to bring my vacuum table and screens back. You can use them.

On anything custom, I like 3/4 inch MDO plywood, the stuff sign painters use. I've got platens over 20 years old with no warp. Also honeycomb aluminum pallets, with silicone rubber tops. Pricey,...

Stopped by to see Steve and the gang at D & L the other day, and found a warehouse full of boxes that say "MOGO", and not a poster, press or printer in sight. Just a trace of ink on the floor of the...

Lacquer thinner is just fine... when you're printing with lacquer. I do it all the time. Just use the *correct* emulsion. One recommended for solvent inks. Mineral spirits leaves an oily film which...

Superglue works just dandy. Just get the thick gel version. And some accelerator for the curing. That's what Frame Fast and Rhino Tek offer in addition to the two-part glues.

What else are pandas good for? They've got no thumbs...

[QUOTE=Aaron Gein;1999222]His method of putting shirts on all platens and rotating them all under the flash is pointless and time wasting. I guess if you're printing really crappy shirts that shrink...

what he said...^^^^^

So where's the faux-Bavarian designery report?

Also, what's the dimensions of the frame bars? A frame that big should have 2 x 4 inch dimensions (height/width) to help prevent that frame bow that Andymac describes... at least.

I'd shoot for about 25 newtons after all tension/relax steps. Remember, on a stretch and glue frame, the tension has nowhere to go but down. You can't get it back once it's used. And corner softening...

I gots screens. 23 x 31, 230's, 305's. In Fremont.
